Why Choose a Carp Lake Close to Calais?

Northern France has long been a favourite destination for UK carp anglers, and it's easy to see why. The lakes are prolific, the scenery is hard to beat, and the whole experience feels a world away from fishing at home - without the long drive that puts many anglers off a French trip altogether. With the cost of fuel and tolls becoming more and more significant, these lakes help to keep the costs of your trip down.
